TY - JOUR PY - 1990// TI - Effect of low-impact aerobic dance on the functional fitness of elderly women JO - Gerontologist A1 - Hopkins, D. R. A1 - Murrah, B. A1 - Hoeger, W. W. A1 - Rhodes, R. C. SP - 189 EP - 192 VL - 30 IS - 2 N2 - To determine the effect of low-impact aerobic dance on sedentary elderly women (N = 53), functional fitness was measured by items from the proposed American Alliance of Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance (AAHPERD) fitness test for older adults. After 12-weeks of low-impact aerobic dance, the group improved significantly on all functional fitness components except motor control/coordination, including cardiorespiratory endurance, strength/endurance, body agility, flexibility, body fat, and balance.
